'BoatDay' is a new iPhone app that helps you and your friends track down the most exclusive boat parties. While spending an afternoon or evening on the water can be incredibly fun, it is often a pricy and time-consuming activity to organize. BoatDay helps streamline this process by making it easier and faster to plan a boat-based party.
Using a similar model as Uber, BoatDay allows you to quickly and easily reserve spots on private boats dedicated to sailing, fishing, leisure, or water sports. You can purchase a solo spot on the boat or you can reserve room for multiple people. Each of the hosts registered with the app are screened and insured. These hosts also operate the boat, so that no one in your party will have to worry about needing a boating license. If anything goes wrong while out at sea, the app also comes equipped with an emergency button.
While renting a boat is often considered a luxury activity, the BoatDay app makes it easier and more affordable for the average person to attend exclusive boat parties.
